PSALM 111
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Praise ye the Lord: with my whole heart
I will God's praise declare,
Where the assemblies of the just
and congregations are.
2The whole works of the Lord our God
are great above all measure,
Sought out they are of ev'ry one
that doth therein take pleasure.
3His work most honourable is,
most glorious and pure,
And his untainted righteousness
for ever doth endure.
4His works most wonderful he hath
made to be thought upon:
The Lord is gracious,
and he is full of compassion.
5He giveth meat unto all those
that truly do him fear;
And evermore his covenant
he in his mind will bear.
6He did the power of his works
unto his people show,
When he the heathen's heritage
upon them did bestow.
7His handy-works are truth and right;
all his commands are sure:
8And, done in truth and uprightness,
they evermore endure.
9He sent redemption to his folk;
his covenant for aye
He did command: holy his name
and rev'rend is alway.
10Wisdom's beginning is God's fear:
good understanding they
Have all that his commands fulfill:
his praise endures for aye.

1Praise ye the Lord. I will prayse the Lord with my whole heart in the assemblie and Congregation of the iust. 2The workes of the Lord are great, and ought to be sought out of al them that loue them. 3His worke is beautifull and glorious, and his righteousnesse endureth for euer. 4He hath made his wonderfull workes to be had in remembrance: the Lord is mercifull and full of compassion. 5He hath giuen a portion vnto them that feare him: he wil euer be mindfull of his couenant. 6He hath shewed to his people the power of his workes in giuing vnto them the heritage of the heathen. 7The workes of his handes are trueth and iudgement: all his statutes are true. 8They are stablished for euer and euer, and are done in trueth and equitie. 9He sent redemption vnto his people: he hath commanded his couenant for euer: holy and fearefull is his Name. 10The beginning of wisedome is the feare of the Lord: all they that obserue them, haue good vnderstanding: his praise endureth for euer.
